“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination circles the world”
– Albert Einstein
Jenifer Minor began her journey studying Anthroposophy at the Great Lakes Waldorf Institute in 2016. She first started work at the Emerson Waldorf School in 2017, and then moved back to her home in Wisconsin to begin teaching at Prairie Hill in 2018. Her first love was working with kindergarten-age children, and now she is excited to move into a new phase of child development and enter upon a new journey in the grades. Jenifer is committed to meeting every child where they are at developmentally, creating a kind and inclusive class environment, and bringing joy and excitement to learning while helping her students to find their place and purpose in the world.
Jenifer holds a B.M. in Flute Performance from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, a M.M. from The New School & Mannes School of Music in New York City, and most recently is expected to graduate from the Great Lakes Waldorf Institute in June 2025 with her Early Childhood teaching certificate. Her capstone presentation focuses on therapeutic movement journeys in the kindergarten.
